6 INTRODUCTION REDCINE-X is a software application for Apple Macintosh or Microsoft Windows-based PCs that performs transcoding and pre-editorial image manipulation of footage recorded in REDCODE Raw file format. REDCINE-X is a non-destructive application in that camera original files are left untouched regardless of how they re translated or manipulated in REDCINE-X. You thus always retain the option of returning to the camera original files to transcode, scale, and color correct or crop the footage from scratch. With REDCINE-X you can translate footage shot in REDCODE RAW file (.R3D) format into any number of file formats and codecs acceptable to virtually all non-linear editing systems in use today. REDCINE-X also digitally performs these pre-editorial imaging functions typically done by a telecine in the film production workflow: Baseline color correction and color grading: White Balance, Gamma, Tint, Contrast, Brightness, Shadow, and other image adjustments. X-Y axis image crop and Z-axis zoom in /zoom out. Image scaling from the high resolution camera original format to lower resolution formats for editing. HOW REDCINE-X IS USED Footage is shot using a RED digital cinema camera onto external media devices such as REDFLASH, RED-DRIVE or RED-RAID. REDCINE-X is used to convert the native.r3d files into file formats usable for non-native offline editorial such as QuickTime or Avid. For non-native finishing, offline information is sent to REDCINE-X which creates full-resolution frames in a usable format such as DPX or TIFF of the necessary shots RED.COM INC. AUGUST 6, 2010

7 REDCINE-X USER INTERFACE The REDCINE-X user interface includes many different tools that allow you to custom tailor your footage to your personal and professional liking. The available tools are shown below. For detailed information of each tool, refer to USER INTERFACE CONTROL OPERATION.

8 THEORY OF OPERATION RAW camera data compressed via internal REDCODE RAW compression module to a Digital Magazine may be converted to RGB color space and color processed in REDCINE-X. A number of choices may be made to perform basic One Light color balancing, including White Balance, Tonal Response and Color Saturation. Selected clips may be exported for editorial or finishing at a variety of frame resolutions using industry standard file formats and video codecs. Batch processing is available, allowing a small number of reference frames to be used for the rapid establishment of color balance and sizing / encoding parameters, followed by a non-real time render of all the remaining frames in the selected source footage clips. RAW IMAGE SELECTION RAW images may be selected for image processing by opening the selecting files or folders that contain the source footage clips. RAW IMAGE PROCESSING The REDCINE-X application converts selected RAW files to RGB color space using de-mosaicing and color matrix algorithms specifically designed for the characteristics of the Mysterium sensor. Timecode, White Balance and other metadata are maintained during RAW to RGB conversion. SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS REDCINE-X is compatible with the following computer platforms: MAC Intel processor, system OS 10.5 or above, with 1GB disc drive free space and 2GB RAM WINDOWS Microsoft Windows XP or above, with 1GB disc drive free space and 2GB RAM RED.COM INC.

Refer to TROUBLESHOOTING > EXPORT SETTINGS NOTIFICATION. Output Resolution Allows custom changes to the height and width or selections for standard resolutions. Debayer Settings Debayer Settings allows software to run faster and output files quicker at the loss of quality. NOTE: These settings only apply to software debayer. RED Rocket will always do the full debayer. Full - Will always do a Full debayer then if needed scale to output resolution (best choice for final output quality). Nearest Fit - Will automatically choose the debayer setting that will give you the nearest debayer result size larger than or equal to your output. Then if needed downscale to the final output size (based on chosen output this can be faster than the full setting at the cost of using a lower quality debayer). Examples: 1. Exporting 4k 2:1 4096x2048 clip to 2048x1024 output: Full = Full quality debayer first resulting in a 4096x2048 image, then scale it to 2048x1024. Nearest Fit = 1/2 Premium debayer resulting in a 2048x1024 image with no scaling required. Result = Nearest fit did a faster transcode at the cost of image quality. 2. Exporting 2k 2:1 2048x1024 clip to 2048x1024 output: Full = Full quality debayer resulting in a 2048x1024 image with no scaling required. Nearest Fit =Full quality debayer resulting in a 2048x1024 image with no scaling required. Result + Both settings did a full quality decode and took the same amount of time.

Reset selections are M to reset to MetaData settings and D to reset to REDCINE-X default settings. Single Value To reset a single setting, press and hold Option (MAC) or Alt (Windows) and double-click on the slider for that setting. The setting will return to the clip Metadata values. COLOR SPACE Color Space can be changed between REDcolor, Camera RGB, REC 709, RedSpace, and srgb. Default setting is REDcolor. GAMMA SPACE Gamma Space can be changed between REDgamma, Linear, srgb, REC 709, RedSpace, REDLog, PDLog 685, PDLog 985, and Custom. Default setting is REDgamma. NOTE: When a clip is opened up in the Browser Drawer, added to the Bin and placed in the Timeline, Color and Gamma Space will automatically change to match clip MetaData. WHITE BALANCE White Balance allows adjustment of the white balance through Kelvin and Tint. When recording RAW, white balance is not established at the time of image capture, therefore it may be freely adjusted in postproduction. If white balance was preset or calculated in-camera during shooting, for the purpose of color balancing EVF or monitoring outputs, that value can be extracted from metadata and used as a starting point for REDCINE-X White Balance processing. Common in-camera presets are 3200 (Tungsten) and 5600 (Daylight). AUGUST 6, RED.COM INC. 27

30 Pick WB The white balance may be adjusted by selecting the Pick WB tool and clicking on the desired known gray area of the clip in the Video window. Kelvin Adjusts the RGB color matrix to compensate for Red Blue tinting of the scene at different Color Temperatures of the ambient light during shooting. Common values are 3200 (Tungsten) and 5600 (Daylight). Range 1800 to 9400, Default is 5600 Tint Adjusts the RGB color matrix to compensate for Yellow Green tinting of the scene at different Color Temperatures of the ambient light during shooting. This parameter is valuable when the ambient light source contains a significant amount of Yellow or Green - such as Fluorescents. Range -100 to 100, Default is 0.00 ISO Allows the ISO level to be changed. ISO adjusts the basic amount of gain on the image, in familiar units. Each doubling of the ISO number represents an increase in image gain of 1 stop. Range 50 to 6400, Default is 320 FLUT CONTROL Once the preferred ISO is set, the FLUT level allows fine tuning of the ISO level. FLUT control units are in stops, so +1 FLUT Control is the equivalent of brightening the image by one stop or doubling the ISO value. Range -8.0 to 8.0, Default is 0.0 SHADOW Allows the Shadow level to be changed. Range to 2.00, Default is 0.00 DRX DRX allows you to recover potentially lost dynamic range by extending and balancing highlights, taking into account the rendering intent of the desired Kelvin and Tint white balance. Range is 0.00 to 1.00, Default is 0.50 SATURATION As the value increases color saturation increases, conversely reducing the value decreases color saturation. If the value is set too high, colors may clip. If the level is set at 0 (zero), a monochromatic image with only grey tones is produced. Range is 0.00 to 2.00, Default is RED.COM INC. AUGUST 6, 2010

31 CONTRAST Adjusts the slope of the Tonal Response Curve between the Toe and Knee transition points, altering the tonal response to mid-level grays. Increasing the Contrast increases tonal separation between adjacent grey levels but decreases the total number of discreet grey levels in the image. Conversely decreasing the Contrast value decreases the tonal separation between adjacent grey levels. Maximum tonal range (maximum number of grey shades) of a properly exposed image is obtained with Contrast set to 0.5. Range to 1.00, Default is 0.00 NOTE: A curve smoothing algorithm is applied to the Tonal Response Curve to prevent clipping of near black grey levels to black, and near white grey levels to white. BRIGHTNESS Adjusts the overall brightness of the image by lifting blacks without affecting the white level. Range to 10.00, Default is 0.00 EXPOSURE Allows adjustments to the clip exposure. Range is to 7.00, Default is 0.00 RED Increases or decreases the camera s apparent sensitivity to RED light by amplifying just the R channel digital video signal received from the sensor. At 0 (zero), no Red will be visible, the image will have a strong Cyan cast. Range is 0.00 to 2.00, Default is 1.00 GREEN Increases or decreases the camera s apparent sensitivity to GREEN light by amplifying just the G channel digital video signal received from the sensor. At 0 (zero), no Green will be visible, the image will have strong Magenta cast. Range is 0.00 to 2.00, Default is 1.00 BLUE Increases or decreases the camera s apparent sensitivity to BLUE light by amplifying just the B channel digital video signal received from the sensor. At 0 (zero), no Blue light will be visible, the image will have strong Yellow cast. Range is 0.00 to 2.00, Default is 1.00 SHARPNESS Allows sharpness adjustments to be made.
